Description

Most artists would agree that possessing the right instruments enhances their ability to work efficiently and productively. Colour Matters empowers creators by offering them more time and capabilities to express and convey their designs to various stakeholders, such as manufacturers and clients. Tailored specifically for fashion and textile designers, Colour Matters features integrated textile design tools that deliver a more streamlined and user-friendly experience than conventional software. Historically, costly CAD systems were exclusive to high-volume users, leaving smaller firms and independent designers with less efficient, generic programs that were not optimized for textiles. Fortunately, those days are now behind us. Colour Matters paves the way for a new era in design. The program's specialization is what drives its effectiveness, while its affordability ensures that it remains accessible to a wider range of users. This innovative software not only enhances creativity but also fosters collaboration within the industry.

Description

Pointcarre is a complete professional textile CAD software that runs natively on both Mac and PC within a single application, a unique combination found in no other solution on the market. It covers the full spectrum of textile design: Jacquard and dobby weaving, digital, rotary and screen printing, jersey knitting, tufting, carpet design and 3D mapping to visualize fabrics realistically on photographs. All modules are integrated into one program, so designers move seamlessly from one discipline to another without switching software. The software ships with more than 4,000 weave structures and includes Pantone, ColorCSI and the Archroma Color Atlas color libraries free of charge. It connects directly to the main industrial machines on the market: looms from Stäubli, Bonas, Itema, Picanol and Dornier, tufting machines from CMC, Tuftco, Vandewiele and Modra, and knitting machines from Stoll and Karl Mayer. Pointcarre is the only textile CAD software with built-in artificial intelligence. Design Maker generates patterns from an inspiration image while respecting the designer's style, Repeat Maker turns any motif into a seamless repeat automatically, and AI Upscaling enhances the resolution of small designs. Jacquard Maker, which builds a complete Jacquard construction instantly, and Natural Blend Color, which simulates ink blending on rotary machines, are exclusive features available nowhere else. With 40 years of experience, Pointcarre is used worldwide by mills, design studios and freelancers in more than 120 countries, and is taught in leading textile design schools and universities, including every NIFT campus in India and NC State in the United States. The company is known for its world-class support, available by phone, chat, email and remote control.
